After the not-so-radical firing of coach Scott Downing (9-47 while in Greeley) the Bears have been in pursuit of the next head man. The coach that will hopefully bring back the winning formula and the programs luster that occurred in the late 1990’s.
The names initially on the list included Earnest Collins (head coach at Alcorn State), Bill O’Boyle (Chadron State), Dave Logan (Mullen) and Mike Breske (defensive coordinator Montana). But the time taken by the search committee and ‘secretive’ interviews has led to some disapproval from pundits and candidates alike.
The UNC job could be a perfect platform for the coaches. There are fantastic facilities, thanks in part to the Denver Broncos who hosted training camp there for many years, and the new coach has the ability to completely rebuild a program from the ground up.
And the new coach is…..
EARNEST COLLINS.
